Miami Science Museum
Nothing is staid or boring in Miami, least of all its museums.
The Miami Science Museum, north of Coconut Grove, contains more
than 140 exhibits, all designed to be hands-on and interactive,
coupled with live demonstrations and collections of rare natural
history specimens that make discovering and learning a great deal
of fun. The Wildlife Center boasts more than 175 live reptiles and
birds of prey, and the adjacent Space Transit Planetarium provides
more thrills with projected astronomy and laser light shows.
